This is definitely a 3'par issue, but I'm not sure i agree with your expectations. Volumes (whether created raw, or from other volumes or snapshots) are independent and do not rely on the snapshot.

The workflow you described actually seems fine to me and is actually expected behavior. The fact that 3par has an internal dependency on source volumes and snapshots needs to be abstracted out. This is something that's been discussed by the Cinder group in depth and everybody including representatives from HP-3Par team agreed to strict enforcement of abstractions.
